9 days, shy of 6 months

I bought two new pairs of maternity pants. I heard full panel is were its at for the third trimester. Old Navy has an interesting opinion of full panel, the jeans are not full panel, maybe the khakis can be defined full. I didn't really have maternity jeans last time, although I did have maternity black pants (I wore them WAY too often, especially with my white tennis shoes), maternity cords, and some interesting jean experiments. For a long time I wore my fat jeans, from my freshman 15 keeping them unzipped with a rubber band around the button until I got too big. I love my new maternity jeans, I only have one pair of jeans that I look better than this in, when I'm not pregnant. Especially with a shirt like this, I barely look pregnant.

My husband took this many pictures and I decided they were all help to get a full visual of what my baby bump looks like.

The khakis don't look quite as good. But they still make me wish old navy maternity would have had longs in pants 3 years ago. (They have recently add longs to their online collection for non maternity women, making me excited to try them out in 4 months, hopefully as a low cost option in comparison to Gap longs.)

This outfit I look quite a bit more pregnant in, at least from the correct angle.

In case you didn't read the title I'm 9 days shy of 6 months in these pictures. Only 99 days to go.

From A A Milne

By the time it came to the edge of the Forest, the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger... For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, "There is no hurry. We shall get there some day."
